Hmmm he would've credited God.... The same God that's referenced in the pledge of allegiance and the declaration of independence? How taboo and appalling for someone to think of doing such a thing....

We need more separation of church and state and it shows with the policies getting passed.

The Under God that was added to the pledge in 1954? It wasn’t Tommy Jefferson who was an advocate for putting it, my guy.

"Under God" WASN'T part of the original Pledge Of Allegience. It was ADDED in the 1950's as a part of the "Red Scare" propaganda campaigns against the "godless Soviets".

Even Jesus Christ said "Render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasar's, Render unto God that which is the Lord's", which MOST THEOLOGIANS translate as maintaining a separation between governance and faith.

Only religious fundamentalists and extremists insist that THEIR God must also be the Law of the Land.
